Hello. Before I continue, I must admit I’m not an avid reader (much less read any of your books save for one, which I’ll get to). I prefer movies, as they are stories I’m able to share with my friends. But recently I made a trip to my local library to check out the epic Beowulf. No doubt you’ve heard of it, for, so it would seem, you are also a fan of the Northmen. While I was there, I chose to check out another book about the period of time we now refer to as the “Viking Age”. I came up The Last Kingdom. I finished Beowulf, which I was impressed with yet dissappointed by the length, and then cracked open your book. It started quickly and ended the same, the action rolling non-stop. An epic tale of a boy who must become a man. I was well aware of the exploits of Ragnar Lothbrok (or Lodbrok as it’s sometimes spelled) and his sons, and continually tried to read further into their tales but found the same vauge stories. Your book provided my not only the knowledge I sought, but a great deal of entertainment. I have already suggested the book to several people, and plan to buy my own copy, and I will continue to read your stories. You are no doubt a great writer, out shining the over rated JK Rowlings, and ranking with Tolkien himself. I’m 18 right now, and hoping to go to film school, and one day, after I’ve made a movie of my own script, hopefully I’ll be able to adapt this book and those that follow (I’ll, of course, seek your approval if and when that happens). Thanks for the great book, and continue writing! Dylan
